A degree in Event Planning? A Ph.D. in Anthropology? Look, even going back to the 80s a job was never guaranteed by getting a degree. I knew lots of people going back to school to get a Masters in CIS because they couldn't find work

I care about capital because I care about humans - that's how capitalism works. I didn't create this system, but we both have to work within its confines. We can abandon it and change it, but that's going to require a revol

That's a different statement than claiming they are good numbers. We're shifting capital production to capital consumption. That's not a viable long-term strategy. Great, it solved their employment problem in June. Now what?

How is it good numbers when they're not creating capital, in fact they're consuming capital? Government isn't an engine for economic growth and innovation. Meanwhile, manufacturing jobs are down - that's important becaus
